Don't want to revert if it's true. Mikereichold 07:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This district is not heavily Republican any more. It has become significantly Democratic.

The article notes that he holds four honorary doctorates. The honorary title should not be used. I would suggest that it be removed; "Rev. Edgar" would be accecptable in text.

Likewise, former Members of Congress are entitled to be styled "Honorable." In the initial title, "Rev. Hon. Robert William (Bob) Edgar," would be correct, Though "The Reverend The Honorable Robert William (Bob) Edgar," would also be correct. --J. J. in PA 19:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is in serious need of better structure. Please reorganize the information in the article into appropriate sections. Sarnalios (talk) 23:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and structured the information in the article under a number of headings. Much of the information in the article lacks sourcing and the only two general references given do not specify which parts of this article are properly sourced and which are not - this can and should be inproved.
